Ahhh I can't believe you paid good money to do something like that 
It looks like a toy Matchbox hotrod...
Sorry I couldn't resist...... I know you must enjoy it and each to their own as they say

hmmm....from the side it really looks awkward with two different diameter wheels. You should throw on some spinners to complete the look.

I think it would look much better if you even out the diameters... get 2x22" to the front... but then you will need to make some changes in the front fenders... if you can do it, it would look sick.. still looks different[good] ... you can definitely get on "pimp my ride" with that one

I have to applaud you for taking chances, however I think you were really onto something with the 20". With a aggressive lowering and Aero I think it was best way to "go big" and yet still maintain some of the original balance.
I know you also caught mega flack for the 20" but now there are tire sizes availible to properly mount 20s on a 209.
My vote is back to 20" staggered with a mean coilover lowering
Either way, its your money and your vehicle so enjoy it. Different stokes for different folks

first time i saw it i didnt think it was that bad and you were trying it out just for a laugh, but i seriously think you should reconsider actually driving like this its like a mercedes monster truck..
of course to each his own and i dont want to judge at all even though i havent seen it in person... pictures dont help sometimes

20" in the front and 22" back does look kinda funny. if it would be even out more maybe with the same diameter in the front and back it would not look so strange. But then the car still would be to high from the ground. I just don't know. 22 "seems to big for a clk. The design of the rims is the bomb though!

The back rims don't look right at all. I would never go over 20's on a CLK. Going over that will only hurt the performance and look. Still, the design is cool, it just looks goofy with the big back wheels. Maybe it looks cooler in person?

(Looked to small)
245/30R20 and 245/30R22 is whats pictured above.
Today... I Mounted "295/25R22" on the rear (She Looks Wicked!)
Tomorrow: 255/30R20 is going in the Front.
"Do You" got a "mean coil over" for my Car?
will I get proper tire wear?
Question:
On the Following "Image" (Mobil Car)
"What the Tire Size?"
I was Told 19" and 21"
Yes! That's the look we are going after.
(Wide Body Kit is on the Werks)
"THE D.E.C.I LOOK" (Before your Time)
Got to be a "Trend Setter."
Just Like "Uncle Ron"
